Lockdown has been an experience. Nothing seems to be certain or concrete, days have few solid plans and the future is clouded by unsureness. I was inspired to go for a walk and after about an hour of aimlessly walking and rendezvousing in some appreciation of little things, I stumbled upon a little woodland park. I spent some time in that woodland park breathing, imagining and painting melodies in my head. Right after, I came home and was inspired to create this piece. Lately, I’ve been hugely fascinated by the sound of Mbira instruments. The Mbira are a family of musical instruments, consisting of a wooden board with attached staggered metal tines. The timbre is clear and percussive, and there’s something about the almost sweet tone of these instruments that put me in a mellow, almost blissful state. I started with a melody played through a Kalimba and built the song from this alone, implementing different layers evolving around sounds of the Mbira family. For me, the song represents an escapade in a time of unchanging days.
